Confluence has had these for quite some time, as more people are using Stash in public (i.e. over the internet) it is becoming more pressing to have a supported means of inserting code into the header and body for things including:
Analytics
Real User Monitoring
Heatmap Tracking etc
It would be ideal to bring this into line with the Confluence offering which allows a simple, supported mechanism for injecting code into all the pages.

[BSERV-5200] Custom HTML blocks for head, and end of body
Ah, you're right, good point.
Still hugely more difficult to add and maintain as the applications change though...
Just FYI lee1001 - it doesn't require an application restart. Plugins can be installed and uninstalled from the admin pages under "Manage add-ons". You're right that it's still heavier than adding fields to the admin pages.
It would be preferable if this didn't have to be done through a plugin... That is a much heavier modification to make (e.g. requires application restart) than simply modifying the HTML via the admin pages.
Sorry for the delayed response, I overlooked commenting on this earlier. It's worth noting there is already a web panel location for the end of body in Stash that you can use in every version released so far - stash.web.pageBottom. For future reference, you can see all the fragment locations for a page by appending three query parameters ?web.panels&web.items&web.sections or some subset of those three if you only care about a certain type of plugin point.
There is no plugin point in the <head> yet, but it's worth noting that we'd have to consider how it affects any performance optimizations we have or plan to have before we expos a plugin point there. I suspect it'll be fine, but we need to make sure exposing this wouldn't prevent us from, for example, an optimization to flush the contents of <head> before grabbing data to display in the <body> might be affected.
Cheers,
Adam
Have you determined whether this will affect your optimization work?
We would use this feature to supply a banner to differentiate our production, test, and staging servers, like we do with Confluence (https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-add-a-site-wide-banner-165609599.html). I see there are a couple of paid plugins that might allow us to do that, but we likely wouldn't go that route.
